A black starburst print, answered by a pink floral dupatta.

Why this piece

• A true contrast pairing: black geometric starbursts on the top and bottom, pink floral clusters on the dupatta.


• Hand-carved wooden blocks stamped in Bhagalpur, with the small register shifts that mark real hand work.


• Opaque, so black stitches up without a lining and without losing depth.

Black and pink

Repeating geometric starbursts in yellow and white cover the black pieces, while the dupatta switches to floral clusters on pink, both closed with linear banded edges. It is the boldest contrast pairing in the collection and the reason this set does not need any styling help.

Styling

Contrast dupattas do the work of an accessory, so keep everything else quiet: a plain black straight kurta, minimal jewellery, and the pink left to carry the outfit. It moves easily from an office day to a formal evening without a change of clothes.

Because every impression is stamped by hand, small shifts in the print are part of the piece, not a fault in it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will the pink dupatta bleed onto the black pieces in the wash?

No. The fabric is colour-fast and does not bleed on the first wash, so lighter areas of the print stay clean.

Is the dupatta matching or contrast?

Contrast. The top and bottom are black with geometric starburst motifs, while the dupatta is pink with floral clusters, both finished with banded edges.

How can I tell it is genuinely hand block printed?

Look closely at the repeats. Every motif is stamped from a hand-carved wooden block, so the register shifts a little and no two impressions land identically. A screen or machine print gives a flat, perfectly uniform repeat; this one does not.

Is there enough fabric for a larger size?

Yes. With 2.5 metres on every piece it stitches up to 4XL for a straight kurta set, and the length can be customised for larger sizes.

Can I exchange it if the colours are not what I hoped for?

Yes. If you do not love the shade or the quality when it arrives, an exchange is available.
